Frequently asked questions
About Rijnlaan 228, Utrecht
Was €675,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €675,000 was 43% above the average asking price in Rivierenwijk (€470,630). However, this home is also 34% larger than the neighbourhood average (103 m² vs 77 m²). The price per square metre worked out at about €6,553, which was in line with the neighbourhood average of €6,455. So while the total price was high, the size and location justify it.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but it's not the most modern. In the neighbourhood, about 27% of homes have label C, while 37% have A or A+. You can expect moderate energy bills, but nothing extreme.
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions drug dealing and litter on the car park, and says enforcement is hard to find. Another resident calls it a beautiful neighbourhood that is improving.
